We admit it: Sometimes in the heat of the moment, the ripping off of clothes happens fast. (Like we’re in a race to get naked. Which probably explains why we also like do-me-now birth control that just works without having to stop to do anything.)

But we know there’s also a seductive, tempting charm to stripping down slowly. If you can relate and you’d like some tips to pull this off, we’ve rounded up some of the best guides to coach you through it. Get ready to take it off…take it all off.
